| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 23, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours clear dark reddish/brown with a moderate, lasting brown head. Aroma and flavor both have a lot going on. Dark fruits (plum, fig), brown sugar and caramel, roast malt, hint of chocolate, spiced with licorice and vanilla. Might be on the sweet side for some, but I like it quite a bit.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 6, 2009 Poured dark brown with nice ruby highlights and a creamy, tan head that hung around for a while and created nice lacing. The aroma was a beautiful blend of rich caramel malts, dark fruits and light yeast. The flavor followed along, with an almost perfect combination of the yeast and the rich malts. Some very pleasant alcohol warmth towards the end. Nice, medium bodied mouthfeel. Really good. Tmoney99 (4779), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Poured clear reddish/brown color with an average brown head that lasted with excellent lacing. Very complex dark fruit, caramel and small alcohol aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation. Medium to heavy complex chocolate bittersweet flavor with medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
This is a standout beer. LooseCannon (936), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
